Vaporizer Maintenance TecNotes

During the past few years, Primary Medical has produced a series of Technical Notes. Each is brief, not more than two pages, and aimed at both engineering and administrative staff. While some may provide new information even for a biomedical engineer, most are aimed at providing ready reference, illustrative material, and background for discussion with hospital administration.

Specification -the availability of manufacture specifications.

Vaporizer Output Check in the OR -distinguishing between on-site inspection in the OR and preventative maintenance in a calibration laboratory

Carrier Gas and Calibration -one factor relating laboratory and field on-site measurements

Procedure -preventive maintenance procedure used in PM's laboratory

Vaporizer Maintenance -vaporizer faults, failures, and maintenance implications

Inspection-overview of vaporizer maintenance and service labeling

If it works, why fix it-reasons for cost-conscious managers to examine for vaporizer preventative maintenance.

We anticipate continuing development and distribution of Tech Notes in coming years. Please let us know if there are any topics you would like to see covered in this series.
